We at Machrihanish Dunes are thrilled to announce the development of a second golf course, reinforcing our commitment to offering a premier golf experience on the Kintyre Peninsula. This expansion, inspired by the successful models of other global golf resorts such as Oregon’s Bandon Dunes, is designed to transform our beloved Scottish resort into a comprehensive golf destination.
The original Machrihanish Dunes course, conceived by acclaimed architect David McLay Kidd, has been a beacon of authentic links golf, celebrated for its rugged natural beauty and strategic design. The announcement of a new course comes at an opportune time when we aim to enhance our facilities while preserving the ecological integrity of our landscape.
Strategic Development and Environmental Stewardship
Our expansion plans were meticulously devised by Tommy Southworth and the forward-thinking team at our parent company, a prestigious Boston-based golf developer. We look forward to adding more hotel rooms, charming cottages, a modern clubhouse, and a top-tier practice facility. The routing of the new 18-hole course promises breathtaking views, moving from the sandy shores into the striking foothills, ensuring a seamless blend of seaside and mountain experiences.
Our approach aligns with our long-standing policy of sustainable development. Like its predecessor, the new course will adhere to the highest standards of environmental sensitivity, minimizing its footprint and preserving the pristine condition of the unique terrain on the Kintyre Peninsula.
An Engaging Golf Excursion Awaits
Machrihanish Dunes has always been more than just a golf course; it’s a sanctuary for both golfers and nature enthusiasts. Adjacent to our grounds, the historic Machrihanish Golf Club, graced by Old Tom Morris, presents a traditional links challenge and ranks as a top destination in global golf circles.
With the new course set to begin construction in 2025, we are dedicated to enhancing the golfer’s journey through thoughtful architecture and strategic course design. While we have not yet selected the architect for the new venture, we assure our patrons and supporters that the chosen expert will echo the philosophy of Machrihanish Dunes, emphasizing natural beauty and challenging, immersive play.
